"an excellent replacement item. 2 problems- no directions & no lightbulb lock nut. once i figured out the ball/socket type holders, it was a snap-literally, untill i broke one & had to remove one from the original headlight to replace it. the product description also neglects to mention that you need a new style lock nut to hold the bulb in. i still haven't figured out what to call it or where to look in the parts list. any help??"posted by: udoit on May 25, 2009

"Came very fast. I ordered it round a lil before 1 on a tuesday and it was at my house friday morning. It was the right part and the price was way less than if I had bought it from a local auto parts store. Two things to know; you need to be sure everything that caused it to go bad has been fixed if not you will eventually kill the new one so get your check engine light off first. Clean out your egr valve if you didnt need to replace it might as well replace your pcv valve cuz its only $3 and clean out the area where its seated and if an O2 sensor is bad replace it the only two on this car (2000 model year) are right in the area of catalytic. Also if your flex pipe is bad you can just a flex pipe so you may be able to piece it together without having to buy the converter with the pipe to manifold. I ended up replacing or cleaning almost my whole emissions system to get it to pass the state test. With the help of this site and my own ingenuity what would have been over $500 in parts cost less than $140 not bad at all!!"posted by: In Cleveland on January 26, 2014

"DURABLE is the word for these mats. They undoubtedly will outlive me! I have to wear rubber soled shoes. The mats interfere with my shoes especially getting into the car. I will adjust! The mats don't fit perfectly, but we trimmed them down. It wasn't an easy task, but doable. They are very heavy, but easy to hose down. I would definitely recommend them to a friend. My car is 16 years old; I hope I remember to remove these mats when they haul my car off to the dump!!"posted by: Mrs 504 on September 19, 2009

"I wanted mats for the front but these were for the rear, so I ended up sending them back for a refund. The mats were nice but not what I needed."

Volvo 740: Luxury and Excitement at a Low Cost

The 740 belongs to Volvo's line of mid-size luxury cars that were produced from the 80s to 90s. The first vehicle that came out for this range was the luxurious 760, which was the automaker's attempt to enter the prestige market of the automotive industry. This car was said to be Volvo's way of veering away from its usually boring yet solid and safe vehicles. Two years after, the 740 was released, and it was created as an inexpensive version of the 760. Here's a quick look at the changes that the Volvo 740 underwent during its decade-long run.

1984: Entering the market

With the success of the 760, the lower-end 740 model was introduced to the market two years after in 1984. Compared to Volvo's earlier 200 series, the mid-sized 740 featured better styling, performance, and luxury. The model was sold in two body types--a four-door sedan, which was sometimes called the 744 and a five-door station wagon, which was also known as the 745.

1985: Italian taxation

In Italy, vehicles with bigger engines were heavily taxed and because of this, Volvo furnished their 740s with intercooled versions of the 2.0 L Turbo B200ET engine. This engine was able to churn out up to 156 hp at 5,500 rpm, which was definitely more powerful than the non-intercooled B19ET engine that it replaced.

1989: First multivalve engine

In 1989, Volvo's first multivalve engine was introduced to 740 models in the form of the 16-valve B230 engine. It was large in size and could produce as much power as a Turbo engine.

1990: Major and minor upgrades

During this year, several mechanical improvements were done to the 740. For instance, it B200 and B300 motors were furnished with larger connecting rods. At the same time, its Garrett T3-series turbocharger engine was also upgraded to Mitsubishi's TD04 series. It was also furnished witg a new 2.4 Bosch LH-Jetronic fuel injection system. This equipped the 740 with an onboard diagnostics system, which doesn't need any special tool to run. The changes and upgrades in the 740 weren't just limited to its under-the-hood components, though. In fact, in 1990, the model received minor changes in its exterior components, particularly in its lights. The 740 was equipped with new composite headlights and it also adapted the style of the Volvo 780's tail lights.

1991: Interior makeover

After receiving major upgrades the previous year, the 740 was furnished with a newly-designed dashboard that resembled that of the 760 in 1991.

1993: The end

The production of the 740 officially ended in October 1992. However, some of its components like its engine, transmission, chassis, etc were utilized by the Volvo 940, which was an almost identical model. In its last year, it still underwent several changes like replacing its mechanical engine cooling fan with an electric version.
